Card Trivia:Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame
- This monster's name is based on Asura, lowest ranks of the deities or demigods of the Kāmadhātu in Buddhism, which is pronounced in Japanese as "Ashura".
- This monster's name is also likely based on "Shura mono", sub-genre of warrior plays from the classic Japanese Noh musical drama where the protagonist appears as a ghost of a famous samurai and pleads to a monk for salvation.
- This is the only "Blackwing" monster to not activate its effect in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.
